October 2014

Astrological month forecast for October 2014.

September 2014 was a month of bated breath, but even Mercury retrograde will not be able to stop the outward energy of October 2014.

It is the most intense month of autumn 2014. Jupiter square Saturn will be confronting us with many challenges. October 2014 marks the beginning of the second eclipse season of the year, an influential period for life on Earth. As of 10 October events will alternate in a rapid succession.

Venus travels through her own sign of Libra, trying to soothe the intense energies.The Grand Trine in Fire which is formed by Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries brings a refreshingly productive energy and enthusiasm that encourages making grand plans and putting down performances. Together with Venus in Libra, this positive connection is the supporting lead in this intense month. Besides conspiracy theories, Mars in Sagittarius brings hubris and inflated bubble structures in thought and action. The signs Aries, Libra, Sagittarius and Leo will experience this energy the most, also persons with the rising sign or personal planets in these specific characters.

Between 4 and 25 October the third and final period of Mercury retrograde in 2014 takes place, this time in Libra / Scorpio. As in the previous two retrogrades, it is in Water and Air. With these three periods in Water and Air, the connection between feelings and thoughts will be restored. Unsolved problems from April 2014 and May 2014 will be asking again for urgent attention. During this period, there are two Eclipses, directed by Mars. Wheels are set in motion. It is a period of discoveries, rediscoveries and revelations. These will be the missing pieces to completed get the total picture.

October 2014 is the month in which all kinds of relationships will be under pressure, both private, business, political and in the international world. Strained relationships can lead to separation and conflict.

On 8 October, a total Lunar Eclipse occurs at 15º Aries. In a Lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a row. The Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The shadow of the Earth then falls over the Moon. The Earth catches the Light of the Sun and so the Moon is eclipsed. The Blood Moon in Aries on October 8, 2014 is therefore completely obscured. This eclipse brings war and sets all kinds of belief on edge. Famous characters may be threatened or die. An existing epidemic may spread to Europe. This Lunar eclipse is closely watched by Uranus in Aries.Since September 2014 Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Leo form a harmonious connection in Fire, involving this Blood Moon, but this basically cooperating energy state is challenged by Pluto, causing an uneasy feeling that something is about to happen. In this period, secrets are revealed and suppressed feelings of discontent in relationships will burst out. During this revolutionary Eclipse of rebellion and confusion the Moon asks of you to let go of what is no longer needed. Right after this eclipse Venus in Libra forms a square with Pluto challenging disrupted relationships to find solutions. What is of real value? What does really matter in life? How can harmony be restored?The collaborated energies of Venus and Jupiter make the theme of relationships less heavy. From 11 to 14 October there will be a growing desire for freedom and cooperation. The cosmic energies have things in focus. Despite the persistent selfishness we realize that we need each other to achieve goals.

The second half of October 2014 is supported by the constructive energies of Mars and Jupiter. In this intense and challenging times, there is willingness to cooperate.The period between 14 and 22 October is a great time for picking up the pieces, to share experiences and pulling ourselves together making and efforts.The positive atmosphere changes as the Sun and Venus enter the intense waters of Scorpio, approaching the last Eclipse 2014.

A Solar Eclipse is a very powerful New Moon. A moment for decisions, but also a spiritual hint for new ways. All the energy of the previous New Moon of September 24, 2014 is brought together again in a search for the underlying truth. On 23 October, the last Eclipse of 2014 occurs, an invisible bridge for a new beginning. This partial Solar Eclipse on the first degree in intense Scorpio refers to militarily action, attacks and disruption of public order in Europe and the rest of the world. The first degree of a zodiac sign represents the very essence of that particular sign. In the deep and passionate Scorpio it is all about topics such as finances, sexuality and greed. The Light of the Sun disappears enabling a different way of perceiving. The Sun symbolizes the Self Consciousness. With an Eclipse, the connection to the SELF consciousness is dissolved and taken over by emotions. The energy is aimed at a revaluation of tangible and intangible values. New self-awareness in the relationship with yourself and others. The contribution of Venus at this eclipse would bring mind and soul together. The theme of greed revalued to selfless love. Sexuality for intimacy. It is also about confidence. Who are you? What do you need? What do you want in this life? What connection do you make? Transformation to the core and the beginning of something new! The birth chart shows where a new chapter starts. The invisible bridge is visible. This last Eclipse of 2014 reveals how life has changed since 2013. In order to make growth and progress possible, painful change is sometimes necessary. In addition, this eclipse points to natural disasters such as earthquakes and eruptions.

In October 2014, we have to deal with multiple storms or hurricanes worldwide. Also, there is news about a major oil or gas leak or spillage which is connected to this. The political leaders in Europe are trying to maintain the illusion that there are no financial or political problems and everything is under control. Infighting and disclosures of financial, sexual and political missteps come to light bringing surprising news at the end of October.

On 25 October Mercury in Libra will turn direct at 17° in Libra. The annual retrograde cycle of heightened awareness in thought and feelings is now completed. Let the restored connection lead to greater tolerance and understanding.

In the middle of the intense Scorpio energy we celebrate the Sabbath of Samhain on October 31, also known as Halloween. Samhain celebrates the Celtic New Year and symbolizes the dormant season of the country and marks both the end and the beginning of the year. It is the magic moment when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is very thin. It is the moment to commemorate the souls who have moved to the Other Side.

The liberating power of the Grand Trine in Fire between Jupiter and Uranus will be weakening in the course of October, but it is still that glimmer of hope we need in this difficult time. In December 2014 Jupiter will retrograde, which means that it will return to Uranus again to restore the Grand Trine again! The first half of 2015 will be influenced by this positive energy. Especially March 2015 is a significant month for us all!

At the end of October 2014 the guidance of the Sun and Venus in Scorpio with Neptune in Pisces lead to meaningful inspiring and soothing energy in the harsh reality. Inspiration does create! A possibility for healing and exploring the deeper dimensions of togetherness.
